Let's talk about the thing no one wants to admit: debt. 💸

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own financial crisis, including how I racked up $750,000 in business debt, hid under my desk when the IRS came knocking (yes, really), and eventually paid it all off in less than 3 years.

If you're carrying financial stress as a wellness practitioner, you're not alone. And you're definitely not a failure.

Here's what you'll learn: ✅ The wake-up call that forced me to face my finances ✅ The simple spreadsheet strategy I used to track every penny ✅ Why I chose the Snowball Method (and how it gave me momentum) ✅ How I raised my prices and said NO to shiny objects ✅ The mindset shift that changed everything: "You can't fix what you won't face"

This isn't about budgeting tips or cutting out lattes. This is about ownership, strategy, and freedom.

Whether you're dealing with student loans, credit cards, or business debt—this episode will give you hope and a real path forward.

Are you stuck in perfectionism mode? Spending hours tweaking things that are already good enough? Waiting to launch until everything is "just right"?

In this episode, I'm getting real about perfectionism – because as a recovering perfectionist myself, I see it holding back too many talented wellness practitioners from building the practices they deserve.

Perfectionism isn't about high standards. It's about fear. And it's keeping you stuck.

✨ Here's what you'll learn:

• Why perfectionism is rooted in fear (not excellence)

• The real cost of trying to make everything perfect

• How to break the perfectionism cycle with the 10-80-10 rule

• Why "B minus work" is exactly what your practice needs

• How to delegate without losing control

• The enemy of perfectionism (hint: it's progress)

If your business feels stuck, if you're exhausted from trying to control every detail, or if you're the bottleneck in your own practice – this episode is for you.

And let's build the practice and life you've always wanted… together.

Have you ever meant to follow up with a patient… and then life happened? The sticky notes, the to-do lists, the reminders you forgot to check, and suddenly a week has gone by. At this point, it feels awkward to respond, and you realize you seriously dropped the ball. I've been there, and it's no fun.

In this personal episode of The Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm sharing what's not been working and how I've finally figured out how to automate these follow-up tasks in a way that feels human, not robotic.

Good intentions and a memory-dependent system will never get the job done consistently. But I finally figured out how to create follow-up automations that feel human, sound human, and make the patient/recipient feel as if they're talking to me.

Here's what you'll learn in this episode:

• Why manual follow-ups will always break down (it's not your fault)

• The mindset shift that makes automation feel personal, not cold

• Why Practice Better or Jane can't replace a real CRM (and how they work together)

• The 3-step starter plan to simplify tags and build one workflow at a time

• Quick-win automations you can set up now… like new patient check-ins, supplement nudges, and reactivations

• How AI can help you write evergreen messages that sound warm and human

And because I don't want you to just hear the idea, I want you to use it, I've also included a free resource with the exact Review Request Automation we use in our practice. It's short, simple, and effective. Tag the right patients, let it run, and watch those reviews come in like clockwork.

Because when your patients feel cared for consistently, they stay, they refer, and they want to tell everyone about you!

When was the last time you told your patients "thank you" in a way that made them feel truly valued? Patient appreciation events are one of the fastest ways to build loyalty, generate referrals, and strengthen your community—but most practitioners skip them because they feel overwhelming.

Here's the truth: hosting an epic event doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or stressful. With the right plan, it can be simple, fun, and one of the best marketing strategies you'll ever use.

In this episode of The Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, I'm sharing exactly how to plan, promote, and host a patient appreciation event that makes your patients feel like VIPs while boosting your practice growth at the same time.

You'll learn:

• Why appreciation events instantly boost loyalty and referrals

• How to plan your event without blowing your budget

• The promotion system that gets people in the room

• Fun activities to make your event unforgettable

• The follow-up plan that keeps momentum going

Be honest… do you secretly cringe when you think about posting on social media? 🙋‍♀️ You're not alone. Most of us don't have the time, energy, or desire to keep up with posting every day, but it's still one of the best ways to connect with new patients and build trust with your community.

That's why I created a shortcut: 15 photos + 25 captions. With this simple system, you'll have a library of ready-to-go posts that make showing up online way less overwhelming. No dancing, no endless scrolling, and you don't even have to show your face if you don't want to.

In this episode of The Clinical Entrepreneur Podcast, I'll walk you through how to take the pressure off and finally make social media feel doable, even if you've hated it up until now.
